What
is Geography?
Geography
is the integrated study of the earth’s landscapes, peoples, places and
environments. It is, quite simply,
about the world in which we live. It
is unique in bridging social sciences (human geography) with its understanding
of the dynamics of cultures, societies and economies, and the earth sciences
(physical geography) in the understanding of the dynamics of physical landscapes
and environmental processes. Geography
puts this understanding of social and physical processes within the essential
context of places and regions – recognizing the great differences in cultures,
political systems, economies, landscapes and environments across the world, and
the links between them. Understanding
the causes of differences and inequalities between places and social groups
underlie much of the newer developments in human geography.
